Hey Quaranturnt Crew,
First off, I want to plug one of my friend’s endeavors. My friend Cason Crane is an incredible man. He goes on 70mi runs for a casual race. He has climbed every mountain you know and more. And now, he’s creating a nutrition business. He has a lot to experiment with, to learn, and to build along the way. That journey will be documented for us all to follow along here. I’m excited to see where this incredible man goes with it! For the rambles, I want to discuss another incredible, yet very simple principle: Progressive Overload. This simply means pushing yourself just a bit past what you’ve done before, recovering, and then repeating. What’s that mean? Here’s an example. Your body is able to do a comfortable 15 pushups, so force yourself to do an uncomfy 16. It’ll be hard, but you get it done. Then you give yourself some food, some sleep, some water, a little sunshine, and BOOM. You are stronger. Now how do you get to 20 pushups? You repeat this process until you get there. This is incredibly important because this principle applies to pushups, squats, running, handstand holds, stretching, freestyle rap, mathematics. Everything. Keep this in mind, because this is the fundamental lever you pull in order to grow. In anything. You start small with no confidence, and grow step by step until eventually you get to top of the mountain. Just like Cason. 😉 Here is the IG Post - with some good options for how to get in some pullups even when you don’t have a pullup bar.
